Lu Yang felt that the Great Xia Dynasty really had it tough. In his view, the legal system was already quite complete, with no room for additions or subtractions, capable of handling any situation.
But that’s not enough to stop cultivators from having too many ideas.
It’s not a big deal that cultivators have many ideas; having ideas doesn’t mean they can be realized. But among the cultivators, there are some with sky-high abilities, capable of turning their thoughts into reality.
This leads to the legal system always lagging behind the ideas of these people.
Take, for example, the Qingzhou Shepherd mentioned by the Fifth Elder.
It’s normal for cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage to duel, right? And it’s normal to move mountains and fill seas during a duel, right? So, it’s also normal if I accidentally relocate a city from a neighboring state to Qingzhou during a duel, right?
What Lu Yang didn’t know was that the nine sons of the Seek Tao Sect had made outstanding contributions to the laws of the Great Xia—mainly by showing the Great Xia that their laws were not perfect and had many loopholes to exploit.
“Fortunately, I’m an honest person, never causing trouble for the Great Xia Dynasty.” Lu Yang glanced at Meng Jingzhou and Li Haoran, feeling a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Why did he practice so diligently to be the top disciple, if not to set an example for them, to follow the rules and laws just like him?
“Father, why do you look so pale?” Qin Yanyan noticed Li Haoran sweating profusely.
Li Haoran’s body trembled uncontrollably, his aura fluctuating wildly, sometimes as low as the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, sometimes as high as the initial stage of Golden Elixir.
He squeezed a few words out through clenched teeth: “I have an epiphany, I want to form my elixir.”
The Fifth Elder appeared in front of Li Haoran and scanned his dantian with his divine sense, discovering a misty sign in his dantian, indicating the formation of a Golden Elixir.
He said solemnly, “Haoran, your situation is special, being the reincarnation of Qin Haoran. Unpredictable things might happen during your elixir formation. It’s best to return to the sect to form your elixir, where it’s safest!”
Li Haoran struggled to say, “I’ll try, but my instincts are making my body start to lose control, wanting to form the elixir.”
Lu Yang had read about such situations in books. This was the most ideal scenario for a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, where the body automatically forms the elixir, everything naturally falling into place without the risk of failure, and the elixir formed would definitely be of the top three grades.
The more reincarnations one has, the better the talent revealed at this moment!
Unfortunately, there were too many uncertainties in Li Haoran, and everyone was only half-informed about reincarnation. Forming the elixir on the spot was not the best choice.
“Haoran, hold on, I’ll start the flying shuttle!”
The Fifth Elder opened the hatch, sucking the four people into the flying shuttle, speeding ahead.
“Take deep breaths, relax your body, deep breaths, yes, inhale, exhale…”
“Junior Brother Li, you must hold on, you and your Golden Elixir will definitely be safe!”
“Elder, fly the shuttle slower, Junior Brother Li can’t hold on!”
“Junior Brother Li, relax, this is nothing serious. As a cultivator, everyone goes through this stage, just push through it.”
On the flying shuttle, two Golden Elixir period guardians—Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou—took care of Li Haoran, encouraging and comforting him, wiping his sweat, taking care of him quite attentively.
Qin Yanyan: “…”
Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were taking care of a pregnant woman.
“The mist in the dantian is condensing, the elixir is about to form!”
“The embryonic form of the Golden Elixir is showing!”
“Junior Brother Li, keep it up, you will definitely succeed!”
Qin Yanyan felt it was even more like that now.
Li Haoran sat with his legs crossed, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, which he drew into his body without leaving a trace. The mist in his dantian reacted even more violently, waves of magical power sweeping through his body, skin, bone marrow, meridians…
The mist in the dantian continued to purify, completely turning into liquid golden spiritual power.
The golden spiritual power compressed again, emitting a bright luster, the light flickering, constantly devouring the surrounding golden spiritual power.
Finally, a full Golden Elixir was formed.
Li Haoran had successfully formed his Golden Elixir!
“Is it a success?” Li Haoran was somewhat uncertain.
His elixir formation process seemed quite smooth, except for the annoying voices of the two guardians ringing in his ears.
“It’s a success.” After a thorough inspection, the Fifth Elder nodded affirmatively.
“But it’s still best to return to the sect for a checkup.”
The Fifth Elder breathed a sigh of relief when there were no anomalies before and after Li Haoran’s elixir formation.
“Finally formed the elixir.” Li Haoran also let out a sigh of relief, now Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had no reason to show off in front of him.
“What kind of Golden Elixir did you form?”
Li Haoran chuckled: “It’s an unrecorded Golden Elixir, the Rebirth Elixir!”
“Rebirth Elixir?!”
Lu Yang thought the name of this elixir was quite grand. Rebirth Elixir, does it mean that Li Haoran has grasped the true meaning of reincarnation, able to retain his memories and live another life, making up for past regrets?
If that’s the case, the name of the elixir is indeed fitting.
“Let me show you.”
Without another word, Li Haoran chopped off one of his arms, startling everyone, thinking he had lost his mind.
But an astonishing scene unfolded. The flesh at the severed limb wriggled, and in the blink of an eye, the arm grew back.
“Regeneration!” Meng Jingzhou named the scene, a divine ability that eunuchs dream of.
Lu Yang: “…”
So it’s that kind of Rebirth Elixir?
However, limb regeneration is quite useful in battle, and judging by Li Haoran’s appearance, growing a new arm didn’t seem to take much effort.
Compared to Meng Jingzhou’s Dual Solitude Elixir and Man Gu’s Ancestral Elixir, Li Haoran’s Rebirth Elixir was actually the most normal one in this batch.
“It’s not just limb regeneration. Heart, blood, even the head, I can grow a new one.” Li Haoran proudly introduced his ability, the arm he threw on the ground still twitching.
“Why did you suddenly need to form the elixir? Did you have an epiphany?”
Meng Jingzhou recalled the events before forming the elixir, and it seemed that only the cleaners summoned by the court were noteworthy.
“Do you also want to do cleanup work in the future?”
Li Haoran rolled his eyes, somewhat at a loss for words: “Of course not, I don’t know earth and wood spells. It was just now that I gained another part of Qin Haoran’s memories. After seeing them, I felt they could be used in elixir formation, so I had an epiphany and used it to form the elixir.”Meng Jingzhou grew even more curious: “What did you see in his memories?”
Li Haoran was silent for a long time before he slowly said, “He relied on his ability to regenerate limbs and sold his blood.”
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou gasped in shock. That was a ruthless move.
Although it wasn’t as valuable as phoenix blood, the blood of someone at the Body Fusion stage was still worth a considerable amount.
“Qin Haoran sold his blood so often that he became quite proficient at regenerating limbs. I acquired this memory and found the regeneration quite useful, so I applied it to my Core Formation,” Li Haoran explained.
“To think that Qin Haoran, for the sake of the Jiuyou Sect, would go to such lengths, even resorting to selling his blood,” the Fifth Elder said, stroking his beard in admiration.
Lu Yang glanced at the Fifth Elder and thought to himself, wasn’t it you who drove the Jiuyou Sect to such poverty?
Li Haoran’s expression became even stranger: “Selling blood was something he did before he became the sect leader.”
“What did he sell his blood for?”
“To earn money for visiting brothels.”
“A Body Fusion stage cultivator didn’t have money for brothels?”
“He frequented them a lot.”
